How to mute someone on Snapchat

If you want to see less of someone on Snapchat, but don’t want to fully block them, here’s everything to know about how to mute another user on the app.

A number of different social media platforms have a range of block options, including a mute button, which allows you to avoid seeing posts or notifications for a certain user, without fully blocking them.
